Description

Belper Bridge, built between 1796 and 1798, was constructed by Benjamin Marshall, with specifications signed by both Benjamin and Isaac Marshall, under the direction of Thomas Sykes, who served as County Surveyor of Bridges from 1786 to 1816. This triple-arched bridge is made of ashlar and features rounded cutwaters. Modern pedestrian walkways have been added, which are cantilevered out and supported by iron parapets. The bridge replaced an earlier structure that was destroyed in a storm.

Local climate

Belper Bridge receives an average of 780 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 60% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 67% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 74% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
